Well. at least we know that corrupt politicians and their corrupt contractor buddies are making some serious vig off this boondoggle...
Housing the homeless should not be the goal. The truth is most of them would just destroy the properties. The goal should be helping first time home buyers who have ties to the community and are being priced out of LA.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a 300 unit mixed use community with commercial on the ground floor and lovely balconied apartments took less than three years from acquisition, planning and zoning, building, to leasing.
The city wants to build 450,000 new units of housing by 2029,
The Leftists always complain loudly and continually about the lack of affordable housing.
In the immortal word of Walt Kelly’s character Pogo, We have met the enemy, and he is us.
Well, I’m not sure I’d want the development in my neighborhood. May have been some NIMBY going on.
Democrats. That’s why. Democrats. Get rid of democrats, and prosperity follows.
How is the choo choo train running? I mean..well...it’s the thought.
Government housing policy changed from being construction based to being voucher based circa 1970. Housing construction is best left to experienced professionals.

Building them shelter is a fool’s errand.
Someone’s pockets are clearly getting very well padded.
This cannot go on much longer.
That’s not unusual.. road construction here for a 5 mile stretch is guaranteed income for life. The only thing that seems to change is where they put the orange cones and barrels. I’d be farther ahead with a shovel and wheelbarrow on a 4 day work week.
